[928uk] Book Recomendations

[Julian Caddick via 928uk]

I've got both these books but early editions, from the early 90's! helped
me understand how cars worked. What's great is that they were written when
our cars were 'modern', I still look at them every now and again. They even
used a Porsche engine as an example. I hope the diagrams have improved
since then though!

Cheers
Julian
